Laptop wont recognize my 80g Ipod Video

I purchased a new laptop recently running Windows Vista. I immediately downloaded The latest version of iTunes. I have no problems purchasing or importing music. when I attach my 80g Ipod video to a usb port on my laptop, iTunes doesnt recognize that the Ipod is even connected. I had no problems before when I synced my Ipod. Please help.

  • MY MAC WONT RECOGNIZE MY OLD IPOD!!!!

    my ipod is pretty old and ive dropped more times than i can keep track of and now it won't load all the way up
    it will load but then i gives me an error message
    ive tried charging it and plugging it in to my mac but it wont recognize it
    what do i do?

    The five Rs are documented here
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/ipod5gen/
    or here is a copy of the restore instructions
    For Mac:
    1. Make sure you've reinstalled the latest version of iTunes.
    2. Open iTunes, and then connect your iPod to your computer.
    3. After a few moments, it will appear in the source list in iTunes.
    4. Select your iPod in the source list and you will see information about it appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes windows.
    5. Click the Restore button. You will be prompted with one or more restore options that may prompt iTunes to automatically download of the latest iPod Software. The 4 possible restore options are:
    Restore Option 1: Restore - Restores with same iPod Software version already on iPod.
    Restore Option 2: Use Same Version - Restores with same iPod Software version already on iPod, even though a newer version is available.
    Restore Option 3: Use Newest Version - Restores with latest iPod Software version on your computer.
    Restore Option 4: Restore and Update - Restores with latest iPod Software version on your computer.
    6. A message will appear prompting you to enter an administrator's name and password.
    7. A progress bar will appear on the computer screen indicating that the first stage of the restore process has started. When this stage is completed, iTunes will instruct you to leave iPod connected to your computer to complete restore.
    8. During the stage 2 of the restore process, the iPod will show an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remains connected to the computer or iPod Power adapter during this stage. Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see since the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
    9. After stage 2 of the restore process is complete and the iPod is connected to the computer, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear asking you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences similar to when you connected your iPod for the first time.

  • My dell latitude laptop wont recognize any ipods...

  • TS1363 Updated to iTunes to latest version 11.1.4.62 on my Windows 8 machine.  iTunes no longer recognizes my 5th Gen Ipod.  It does however recognize my 80gb Ipod Video.  I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes as directed (twice) & rebooted pc. no luck.

    I just updated iTunes to the 11.1.4.62 (as the pop up directed me to) on my Windows 8 machine. As a result iTunes will no longer recognize my 5th generation Ipod Nano (yes two).   I receive a pop up saying "Ipod has been detected but could not be identified properly"   I've followed the recommendations seveal times: a) disconnected and reconnected. b) rebooted computer c) unistalled and reinstalled iTunes d) tried different cables e) tried different USB porst f) rebooted Ipod.... the window keeps popping up like a middle finger (you get the point)
    iTUnes WILL however,  recognize my 4th gen Nano and my 80gb Video (classic) without problem
    Needless to say, I'm frustrated and ticked off over all of this wasted time.
    Anyone solved this issue yet?
    Any good suggestions?
    Please advise
    Kindest regards,

    c) unistalled and reinstalled iTunes
    Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:

  • Samsung DLP TV Wiselink wont recognize or play iPod Touch

    I have a Samsung DLP Tv with a Wiselink USB port. When connected to iPod touch, it does not recognize nor will it play anything on my iPod. (YES the iPod is already set to NTSC settings) Help anybody????

    I'm surprised that you think this would work. You need to purchase the proper cable from Apple to be able to output video - and those cables will connect to your standard audio/video ports on your TV.

  • New laptop wont accpet music off ipod

    I recently bought a laptop, as i have moved away from home and need my own personal computer. I downloaded itunes tonight but it wwon't allow me to take all of the songs on my ipod, some three thousand, and put them on my laptop, because the ipod is synced with another computer, and to sync it with this one would cause it to delet all the songs off my ipod, which i do not want.
    How do I get around this?
    basically, I'm looking to sync my laptop and ipod together, with all my songs, including albums that were ripped onto my itunes on my computer at home, songs downloaded, and some bought off itunes.
    is this possible or is it an annoying protocol set up to stop music being shared among computers?
    please help asap!1
    thank you

    *is this possible or is it an annoying protocol set up to stop music being shared among computers?*
    Yes it's possible and yes it's to discourage large scale file sharing.
    1). Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod.
    2). When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you continue to use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
    3). Once you are connected and your iPod is safely in manual mode there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you only want to copy your purchases to the computer that can be done using iTunes, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    For everything else (including purchases) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    A selection of iPod to iTunes utilities:
    TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    SharePod Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    YamiPod Mac and Windows
    iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows
    Floola Mac & Windows
    iPodRip Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    4). Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync.
    5). I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

  • HT204053 I  cannot get my laptop to recognize my new Ipod nano to download music to it.  Also ICloud will not recognize my apple ID.

    Having a hard time getting Icloud to recognize my apple ID.  My laptop also does not recognize it either.

    1. The recent iPods will only work properly with iTunes 7.
    2. You cannot use iTunes 6 and iTunes 7 simultaneously with the same account on your machine, as the library format has changed. It may not be possible to use two different versions of iTunes on a single Windows XP installation.

  • Carry Case for 80G iPod Video

    I've looked everywhere for a carry case for my iPod 80g video but can't find anything to suit. I mostly use it in the car, shut away in the glove box, and wanted something that allows me to plug in the stereo lead with the iPod still in case. I was hoping to get something with room to store the headphones and a extra lead etc.
    Any suggestions?

    Van hello. You should never keep your iPod in your glove compartment as one day you'll find that it will stop working because of excess heat, cold or humidity. Try to take it with you (if possible). There is a good carrying case at the following link: http://www.thegadgetlocker.com/productinfo.php/cPath/218_170_176/productsid/2856
    Hope it helps.

  • IMovie wont' recognize my Canon Digital Video Camera

    When I hook up my Canon ZR70 MC digital video camera through my firewire port, iMovie doesn't recognize it even after I did the following:
    turned the camera on and off.
    took the tape in and out.
    restarted computer with the camera in.
    After speaking to Canon technical support, they've determined that since 'DV In' was blinking on the camcorder screen, there must be a problem with the firewire cable, the port, or I'd need a firewire update. I'm running OSX 10.4.5.
    Anybody had this problem before? I doubt it's the cable or the port because both are new. And I tried it on multiple computers. Please help.

    sstrickeler,
    First a few questions.
    Has the camera ever worked correctly?
    Are there any other FireWire devices attached to the computer?
    Is the camera running of battery power or A/C?

    yes ok then.... downlaod a prgram called ipod wizard from www.ipodwizard.net
    the only thing this program will do is tell you wether your ipod is actaully on your computer.
    If it shows up there... try uninstalling iTunes 7 and then put an older version (6) back on. Then try to sync ure ipod.

  • Laptop wont recognize my phone anymore?

    Hi,
    When I connect my phone to my laptop via the usb cable it now says it doesn't recognise the usb devise ('USB Device Not Regognised'). Then after I unplug and replug it afew times it lets me access my files and transfer my photos to my pictures folder, but about half way through it suddenly stops and cancelles the transfer and says it doesn't recognise my usb device again! 
    I don't know but I think it may be since I did the OS update on my phone...
    Not sure what to do about this...
